Switzerland
The Alpine country in central Europe, known in Japan as a byword for precision — watches, banking, and neutrality — and for its mountain scenery.
スイスは永世中立国だ。
Switzerland is a permanently neutral country.
スイス comes from the Dutch or German pronunciation of the country's name, unlike the English-derived "Switzerland."
